I agree but this deserves its own thread. Some on here seem convinced it is handball.
Day 9: Cameroon vs Serbia | South Korea vs Ghana | Brazil vs Switzerland | Portugal vs Uruguay

No, now he has got on the score sheet he will cede the first goal to CR7.A Bruno brace
Uruguay in a tough position now. Have to beat Ghana who would be relishing knocking them out.
Yeah, showing them was not the best idea the tv folks had today.Those Uruguayan lads were fuming
Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva incredible
Harsh penalty. Accidental, only reason I'd give it is Bruno was free on goal had it not collided with his hand, guessing that's the refs reasoning too.
Bruno superb.
Bruno superb.
That's Portugal finishing top of their group. Can't say it's undeserved. Who will they meet in the last 16?
Piers is on his way to Qatar as we speak!
2 goals and 2 assists
He's pathetic. Supposed to be bloody neutral, not acting like some fanboy
Bad day for ego Ronnie. Opening goal given to Bruno. Subbed off and then a penalty he probably would have taken scored by Bruno. He'll be off to Piers to complain again?
Now Bruno is doing it on the world stage. I wonder what his haters will say now
Someone needs to check Pepe for steroids, he can’t be this good at 40
He did the dickhead run up 
Bruno steals the show. Happy for him. He is the main man of Portugal. Disappointed with Ronaldo's celebration
Walton just said that's not a rule anymore
Good to see Bruno score. Shocking penalty decision though, every so often the handball rule seems to go backwards again.
My view on the penalty:
With Ronaldo off the pitch: Stonewall pen, clearest pen in history
With Ronaldo on the pitch: shocking decision, ref is bought etc
Hope this helps.

Bentancur is too good a player for Spuds. We need to save him
Rules are meant to be broken
2 goals for Ronaldo
By letter of the law it's not a penalty. The arm being used for balance when you slide to the ground is deemed a natural position. We saw this in the EPL recently when Chalobah did the same thing away to Newcastle.
He doesn’t get a say
For those saying no penalty, is that not denial of a goalscoring opportunity? I have no idea on what the rules exactly are but I feel like the context of the play is why the ref gave it.
Pellistri has looked good and lively today.
dont see how he doesn’t get chances in the second half of the season on the back of this.

Maxi Gómez is miles better than Núñez
Swiss?

Handball rules needed to be redone, absolutely no way was that a penalty
Now they've qualified they need to rest Bruno in the last group game.
Clear as day.
What else can you expect trom Mr "Me Me Me"Bruno steals the show. Happy for him. He is the main man of Portugal. Disappointed with Ronaldo's celebration
And Palhinha too good for Fulham.
He’s so so bad
It surely was.
Bentancur has been good.
The boy in shatters right now.
Not sure how that’s relevant if the action isn’t handball? It’s like saying a defender can’t kick the ball away if there’s a goal scoring opportunity
Can’t believe Pepe is still playing in this Portugal team
